You may have heard that Chinese technology companies are also doing amazing things. You will have heard correctly. This alien looking smartphone is actually the world's first mobile phone with a built in Virtual Reality capable camera. Chinese high-tech firm Protruly showcased their Darling VR Smartphone at the China Hi-Tech Fair in Shenzhen on Thursday. Using a special algorithm, the Darling VR smartphone can take 360 degree panorama videos and photos. The Darling VR smartphone features the world's first 360-degree live virtual reality streaming camera for smartphones. Protruly's VR smartphone combines a 5.5" FHD retina display with 1080p resolution, powered by a Deca Core CPU running at 2.5GHz speed, with a powerful Mali-T880 GPU graphic processor. The standard version comes with a price tag of $600, but Protruly is also selling a special, limited edition diamond and gold-encrusted version, costing $1,300. More than 3,000 exhibitors from around the world are exhibiting their latest products at the 2016 edition of the CHTF, with around 500,000 visitors expected. The exhibition will run until November 21.
Video courtesy of Vlad Alexsson and Anna Alekseenko captured the moment when a series of explosions rocked the Russian city of Murmansk, lighting up the sky and cutting power to whole districts of the town. A major blast at the Kolenergo thermal power plant illuminated the night sky over the subarctic city of 300,000 people on Tuesday, causing blackouts and scaring locals right as winter is setting in, with temperatures hovering around 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Workers from EMERCOM, or the Russian Emergency Ministry, responded to the event quickly and were able to bring on reserve generators within an hour, so the blackouts didn't last very long, but the explosions did certainly make for some incredible visuals as thousands of homes were plunged into darkness in the largest city in the world located north of the Arctic Circle. The port city connects north-west Russia to the Arctic Ocean, through which dry goods like coal, oil, and fish are shipped to Europe and Asia. Investigations are ongoing at the site but the cause of the explosions remains unknown at this time
